St John the Baptist parish church, beside Radyr Chain, is nearly 800 years old, but was much altered by a Victorian restoration in the 19th century.[2] Radyr Court farmhouse is now the Radyr Court Inn public house.[2]

Danescourt has a primary school. Next to St John's parish church and the Radyr Court Inn is a shopping centre that includes a Co-Operative store, a newsagent, a Post Office, a Women's Gym and Forte School of Music. There are also a dentist's surgery and a GP's practice next to the Shopping Centre.
